My Trip, Part 1

Okay, so I don't think I can post all about the trip in one day. My attention span is just not that great. So I'll break it down. I'll post about: grandparents, the beach, and etc. Today will be about grandparents.

I saw Nana and Grandpa when I got in with Kelly and Lauren on Tuesday afternoon. Nana had on a pair of pants, two skirts, two shirts, and nearly every piece of jewelry she owned. She didn't really recognize us, and she kept asking us weird questions. (By the way, I had a lot of fun with Kelly and Lauren- we finally finished Kelly's quilt!) Nana appears to have taken up the habit of wearing too much clothing, as I witnessed, or not enough, as Jack and the girls witnessed. However, Dad and Jack really worked things out. Nana and Grandpa will be moving, and a caretaker will spend four hours a day at their house until they can move. Nana improved over the course of the visit, so I was pleased. By the time we left, she knew us and was acting like her old self.

Meme, on the other hand, was completely wonky. She thought I was Kary's girlfriend and kept trying to cut and eat her napkin. I knew she'd keep deteriorating, but it made me nauseous to see her this time. She knew Mom some of the time, but she didn't make sense a lot. She also got really snappy and threatened to shoot several staff members over her footwear.

However, all my grandparents seem safe for now. I mean, they're old and feeble and sickly, but they are taken care of, which is important to me. Later today or tomorrow I will expound on the beach. Heaven!
